SCISSOR GUARD 1940

"SCISSOR GUARD" is a wire sculpture created by Alexander Calder in 1940. Calder is known for his abstract and kinetic sculptures, often made from wire, sheet metal, and found objects. The delicate line and simple, organic forms of this work are characteristic of Calder's style, known as "mobiles," which are often designed to move in response to air currents. This piece showcases Calder's exploration of form and movement in a minimalist aesthetic.
